Welcome to Andi's Art

-

My name is Andrea Ramirez, or Andi for short. I was born in Puerto Rico, but raised in Tampa, Florida. I've been at The University of Tampa since 2016 and am in my last semester here. I decided to stay in Tampa to attend university because I wanted to be close to home but still be able to experience the "college experience".

 I have 3 sisters, one older and two younger, and one cat named Lulu. In my free time I like to watch movies and review them, and attend concerts in the Tampa area. I also like to make content for myself such as video montages or scripts for short films. 

 I am excited to jump into content making in FMX 210 because I like to be able to say "I made that", although, I am a little intimidated. I think this class will challenge my creativity because I have very minimal knowledge with graphic design. I expect to learn how to use Adobe products to create my projects, and how to give and receive constructive criticism.          

 I think this blog will be a fun place to post the content I create and will allow me to learn how to express myself on the internet.

Somewhere Project

For this project I struggled to come up with a photo I wanted to place myself into because a lot of my clothes are still back in Tampa. I began to think about different movies and artists I liked and being a huge fan of One Direction since middle school really swayed me to pick this album cover as my topic for this project. I began by choosing which member I wanted to remove and decided to remove Liam because he is super problematic now a days. I removed him by using the clone tool, I then took a couple of photos because I wanted to have options on which one to use. I then transformed all my photos into black and white and used the quick selection tool to remove myself from my first photo and insert myself into the album cover. It took me a while to remember how to place myself behind an object, but once I did figured that out it was easier for me to complete.  Hours to complete: 2 1/2 hours Below is the original album cover:

Business Cards

These are my business cards. They took about 2 hours to complete. I chose to stick with the film aspect of my logo and made the first business card based on a clapboard that you would see on set of a film or TV show, the next I chose to base it off of a marquee at a movie theatre that would tell you what movie is showing. The last business card was inspired by an old fashioned black and white film, I made my logo the projection for the movie. I liked making my logo into a business card because it allowed me to use my creativity and add my love of film into my business cards. Indesign took me a minute to get used to but I like how compatible it is with other Adobe products. My favorite business card I made is probably the clap board because it actually resembles one and puts my information where it would be if I was the director of a film. Below are my original sketches:

Propaganda Poster

This project took me about 5 hours total to create and I am so proud of the outcome because I think it actually resembles me. One thing I struggled with was creating the eyes and making them look realistic and as close to mine as possible, I wanted to seek help in person but since class was cancelled I troubleshooted and watched many tutorials on Youtube for help. One thing I could've done better would probably be the my hair, I think I got the shape down really well with the pen tool but I couldn't seem to figure out how to put the highlights in without making them look choppy. Other than those issues I had a lot of fun making this self portrait. I chose to use the saying "give peace a chance" but added "let us" because it looks like I am running in a campaign and I will be bringing the world peace if the people select me. I decided to challenge myself and make my hand into a peace sign out of words that part alone took me about one hour. I wanted to...
